(1) Cooked crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, chopped chives are just a few of the optional ingredients that can be added when adding the cream cheese and butter.
(2) If using an electric mixer, mix just until ingredients are incorporated, do not over beat the mixture or it will turn to paste!
(3) I like to use a fork and comb through the potatoes slightly to give the top ridges that will brown nicely as it bakes.
